Famous Five 14 - Five Have Plenty Of Fun By Enid Blyton
Chapter One AT KIRRIN COTTAGE ‘I feel as if we’ve been at Kirrin for about a month already!’ said Anne, stretching herself out on the warm sand, and digging her toes in. ‘And we’ve only just come!’ ‘Yes - it’s funny how we settle down at Kirrin so quickly,’ said Dick. ‘We only came yesterday, and I agree with you, Anne - it seems as if we’ve been here ages. I love Kirrin.’ ‘I hope this weather lasts out the three weeks we’ve got left of the holiday,’ said Julian, rolling away from Timmy, who was pawing at him, trying to make him play. ‘Go away, Timmy. You’re too energetic. We’ve bathed, had a run, played ball - and that’s quite enough for a little while. Go and play with the crabs!’ ‘Woof!’ said Timmy, disgusted. Then he pricked up his ears as he heard a tinkling noise from the promenade. He barked again. ‘Trust old Timmy to hear the ice-cream man,’ said Dick. ‘Anyone want an ice-cream?’ Everyone did, so Anne collected the money and went off to get the ice-creams, Timmy close at her heels. She came back with five cartons of ice-cream, Timmy jumping up at her all the way. ‘I can’t think of anything nicer than lying down on hot sand with the sun on every part of my body, eating an ice-cream, and knowing there are still three weeks’ holiday in front of us - at Kirrin too!’ said Dick.
